- I've been messing about with various ifile options "-h -w -k"[1] and I'm coming to the conclusion that it would be quite useful to customize the parser for ifile. While you can do this in front of ifile, I think as a first pass it would be convient to provide a "subprocess parser". - I've poked around in the code and this doesn't seem too awful implement. Of course you need to be quite cautious reading raw crap from the net, but it seems like this could be a powerful tool for improving Ifile's accuracy. - 95% of the time I'm finding ifile incredibly useful, the other 5% is driving me crazy. Looking through 30 email folders for my wife's most recent email is not improving my email experience. While I can fix this in front of ifile, I think it would be generally useful to do it within the structure of ifile. For example, if email is from my wife, just return my wife's address. and ignore the rest of the content. - While this will probably slow ifile down, I'm much more concerned with improving accuracy, not speed. - Booker C.
